From 15 April 2023, armed clashes erupted between the Sudanese Army Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in multiple cities across Sudan, including Khartoum, Al Fasher, Merowe, Nyala, Ag Geneina, and El Obeid. DTM Sudan has been receiving reports of widespread displacement across different states in Sudan due to the ongoing security situation.
— Since 15 April 2023, DTM estimates that approximately 736,223 individuals (149,599 households) have been displaced internally as a result of the conflict.
— Notably, the current estimate for displacement since the conflict began is comparable to that recorded by DTM Sudan for all conflict-related displacement during 2021 and 2022 combined.
— Furthermore, an estimated 177,116 individuals have crossed into neighbouring countries.
